Orea V4 Narrow Orea by Orea

OREA Negotiator Required

A moulding tool that seats a flat paper filter tightly against the walls of OREA's narrow flat-bottom brewers (V2, V3, V4 Narrow, O1, and the glass/porcelain models), so the paper hugs the walls and forms a low-bypass bed — forcing water through the coffee instead of around it, for higher and more consistent extraction. You press it in to shape the paper, then pull it out before drawdown; it does not restrict flow. Pair with OREA flat paper.

Notes

Trace consistent spirals without washing the filter wall, and let the water level fall between pours. If the cup lacks body, shorten the pauses slightly; if it tastes drying, widen the grind before changing the pattern.
